Thank You!
Of course this colud be the reason, but not the most important one.
The leakage is approximately 160kB/1000 redraws that makes about
0.16kB/redraw = 160 bytes. That is much more than a size of single
pointer! What's more - when I was looking for a reason, I was using a
"hit-or-miss" method: I was commenting out line-after-line to find the one
that causes the leak. It was c->Update(), not hE->Draw(), to be the most
serious one.
BTW, Isn't there a protection in Draw() method for adding an object
another time to a ListOfPrimitives ?
thanks once again!
